marys-luna-drawingI’m proud of all the fabulous creations girls share on New Moon. So I decided to celebrate your accomplishments with my new Luna’s Picks page.

Friendship is the Best

I love seeing what girls are sharing on New Moon, and today a wonderful sticker exchange caught my eye. So here’s a shout out to ten-year-old Maeve and eight-year-old Sarah-4-ever-100!

The sticker exchange is how girls share messages on New Moon. Usually when someone is new at New Moon, the first thing they want to learn is how to get and give stickers! I love seeing members welcome newcomers with their first stickers, and that’s just what Sarah-4-ever-100 did for Maeve. Thank you, Sarah-4-ever-100, for making Maeve feel welcome in our great girl community!sarah_sticker

Even a small gesture of friendship, like giving a sticker, can mean a lot to a person. It meant a lot to Maeve. She replied, “hey sarah i thought i would give u a sun because u were so nice to leave me a sticker because im new. so i think u have a  bright spirit. i think we should b friends.”

I loved seeing this message, because friendship is what New Moon is all about! So when you see someone new at New Moon Girls, don’t forget. Welcome them with a sticker! It’s a great way to build friendship and community. And it’s easy to find new girls on the site. Just go to the homepage and click on the I’m New message. Here’s a picture of what it looks like! im_new

Thank you New Moon Girls for being so great!

Who Will You Remember?

It’s Memorial Day, the day we honor the men and women who have died in military service to the United States. Will you be remembering someone from your family today? You can share your memories at our special memorial message board, Love Remembers.

Thursday Night Chat!

What are you doing tomorrow night? How about chatting with other New Moon Girls?

GEB member, Nneoma, is hosting a girls chat in Luna’s Chatterbox on Thursday, May 21st! The chat will be one hour long. It will be held at:

6:00-7:00 pm Mountain time

The chat will be your time to get to know some of the girls you’ve been stickering! Say “hi” to someone who’s work you’ve admired, or talk to someone who’s name you’ve seen. What are we talking about? Whatever you want!

Be sure to be on time (space is limited!) and to have the newest version of Java installed on your computer. For more tips on New Moon Chats, Go Here.

I’ll pop in and say hi for a few minutes…hope to see you there!
